PASADENA, Calif., Sept. 11, 2006 -- The old optical microscopes that everyone used in high school biology class may be a step closer to the glass heap. Researchers at the California Institute of Technology have announced their invention of an optofluidic microscope that uses no lens elements and could revolutionize the diagnosis of certain diseases such as malaria.The optofluidic microscope, and the implementation scheme for an on-chip optofluidic microscopy. The device is uniformly illuminated from the top. The target sample flows through the channel, and the transmission through each hole is acquired and recorded. The...Read full article

    chip
    1. A localized fracture at the end of a cleaved optical fiber or on a glass surface. 2. An integrated circuit.
    microscope
    An instrument consisting essentially of a tube 160 mm long, with an objective lens at the distant end and an eyepiece at the near end. The objective forms a real aerial image of the object in the focal plane of the eyepiece where it is observed by the eye. The overall magnifying power is equal to the linear magnification of the objective multiplied by the magnifying power of the eyepiece. The eyepiece can be replaced by a film to photograph the primary image, or a positive or negative relay...
